Honey-Oat Pan Rolls

Thanks for inviting me to join your blog! Here's my introductory recipe. :) It's a healthy-ish one. It's best if you have a bread mixer for this (I don't and I didn't really enjoy all the kneading, but my whole family liked the finished product...even the purely white bread kids).

Honey-Oat Pan Rolls

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
2 Tbsp yeast
1 tsp salt
1 cup water
1/4 cup honey
5 Tbsp butter, divided
1 egg

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oats, yeast, and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the water, honey, 4 Tbsp of the butter to 120-130 degrees F (just until the butter is melted). Add to the dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add egg; beat until well combined. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 24 pieces. Shape each into a ball. Place in a greased 13x9x2" baking pan. cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
4. Bake at 375 for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Melt remaining butter; brush over rolls. Remove from pan to cool.

Now that I've typed it out, it seems like a lot of work, but I really love homemade rolls so it was worth it!
